"I got your dead drop, so here is your reward. Oh, I have a little extra for you." The fixers words were met with anticipation from the crew. They were met with disappointment when their bonus turned out to be a kiss blown towards them.

A vacant motel room is a great spot for ronin to relax and lay low a little after a gig well done.
While the others either got some rest or took care of their gear, Akitsu anxiously looked out of the window.

Panic looked back at the burning building.
Her mind wanders and she starts thinking. Chaos is ever the companion of the Ronin. You can never be fully prepared, no matter what. A valuable lesson any ronin must learn to survive.

Despite CH02's best efforts, she couldn't open the escape all the way. A physical fire barrier stood between them and freedom.
Without hesitation, Jay got to work. Thanks to his skeletal and muscle enhancements, they got out.

"We gotta get the hell out of here!"
"Will you shut up? I'm trying to focus here."
"Huh? Oh."
"...How much longer will you need."
"Almost peeled to the core of the onion."
"HUH?!"
"Just... shut up, okay...?"

The woman crawls through the snow, trying to evade the smoke. The suitcase dropped not far, that much she knows.
Though, she is greeted by a puzzling sight: It's gone, leaving an impression in the snow. No footsteps to tell where it went either.

Soon the snowy landscape turns into an inferno.
As smoke billows and the flames consume all that is in sight, a lonely drone takes the price.

"Deal's off, let's get rowdy!" the king says, lighting the fuse.
"Torch 'em boys!" He throws his molotov, the other kings follow suit.
"This is why you don't fuck with Ogre Street, corpo scum!"

"This is bad, 02, we gotta do something!"
"I'm looking, I'm- I got something! Transferring Control."
"Wha- Oh, an Akiyama Firefly. Wait, a whole swarm?"
"Part of the light show. Can you make it work, Akitsu?"
"I'm... I'm on it."

Unbeknownst to the crew, the King managed to press the button on a transceiver he had on him.
A silent signal was sent, and soon, chaos would unfold.

Something must've gone wrong with this post 🫢
We actually made something, why was it uploaded wrong?
Anyways, here it is!

Without hesitation, Jay throws himself forward, aiming for the gunman's belt. With one precise shot, the flashbang detonates. The flash stuns the king and the woman, the blast knocks the gunman off balance.

A gunman shoot from the snow, suddenly.
"The terms are unacceptable, I'm afraid. Goodbye" The lady says coldly, before turning around.
"Shit, I guess we have a real rival for that prototype..." Akitsu gripes.

"Quiet, they might hear us." Akitsu reprimands. "Cut me out, man, it's fucking arctic in here and I am a snake..." Panic whines through clattering teeth, freezing to the bone. CH02 isn't fairing much better, all bundled up.

Curious, the crew tries to follows them at a distance. Soon, the two strangers meet in the middle of a snowy landscape. "What the hell is this place?" Panic looks around, confused.
"Indoor ski slope. Odd location for a deal..."

As they tail the man , they spots someone else. A dignified figure, wearing fine clothes, adorned with ornate embroideries with a leaf motif. From her ears, Fleur-de-lis Earrings.
"Is that a celestial from Arcadia?" CH02 notes.

Just as the crew comes topside, they hear footsteps and hide. "Wait, ain't that one of the kings?"
"That's a king? Then who did we rough up..."
"Look what he's holding, ain't that-"
In that moment they realized their blunder.

"I don't trust these stairs..."
"Why?"
"I don't know... they are all... ragged... and stuff."
"Back home, in Redmond, every building looked like this. It'll be fine."
"You really think this will get us topside?"
"It gotta."

The three stare in silence at the contents of the trunk.
"...We happy, O2?" Akitsu breaks the silence. She pauses for a moment, then chimes up "It says Akiyama on the box, metadata checks out, so... Yeah, we happy."

The crew enters, finding an empty hideout, cleared out by the crews bunny hacker.
"Oh sweet, free drinks!" Panic exclaims as she grabs a can and leans against the car. "Thing our mark is in here?" she points at the trunk.

"Time to get this bitch open" Jay coldly states as he takes aim. The door frame is torn open, shredded by the explosive power of the Ammunition. "Shit, these ain't no normal AP Ammo... Nice." He smirks as he moves up to the door. #inktober2025 #inktoberday12 #indiedev #inktober

Losing little time, Channel02 jumps into action. "Direct access to the subnet? Don't mind if I do..." She says to herself as she plugs into the heavy. "This might sting a little," the bunny says jokingly as screams come from afar.
#inktober2025 #inktoberday11 #indiedev #inktober
October 11, 2025 at 9:26 PM
"Man, fuck this!" Panic says before bolting out from cover. Before the heavy could react, she swings her electrified kanabō for a devastating sweep. The sounds of shattering bones fills the room as the heavy is swept off his feet.

"Pssh, heavy, 3 O'Clock." Akitsu warns the rest. "Ah shit, it can never be as easy as the fixer says it is, can it..." Jay adds. "Are you gonna hack them?" Panic asks Channel 02 but she is still shaking after their little swim.

"This is pretty reckless, I mean, it's October and its really deep-" the bunny voices her reservation.
"You can't swim, huh. Don't worry, I'll drag you along." The snake responds. She was right, and she would, absolutely.
